Notes
  • Significance: It was built as part of an extensive improvement program for the Petrified Forest National Park in the early 1930s. It is historically significant for its pivotal role in the development of the park. The bridge is technologically noteworthy as the most visually striking vehicular girder in Arizona. It is not coincidental that the bridge was constructed in a unit of the national park system at a time in which government was acutely concerned with the aesthetic impact of its buildings and structures. The Rio Puerco Bridge represents the aesthetic potential of what must be considered an essentially mundane structural type.
